![]() Despite those changes, Nvidia claims that the RTX 3070 is on par with the RTX 2080 Ti (with 3GB less VRAM), but at a $500 MSRP, seriously, who can complain.Ī natural advantage of the cut-down design is the much lower TDP rating of 220 watts, that's 100 watts lower than the 3080 and 30 watts lower than the outgoing 2080 Ti. This allows for a peak bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The memory subsystem has also been downgraded, moving away from 10GB of high speed GDDR6X memory to 8GB of standard 14 Gbps GDDR6 on a narrower 256-bit wide memory bus. ![]() ![]() The cores are clocked slightly higher, about 4% for the base clock and 1% for the boost clock. The GPU packs 32% fewer CUDA cores and TMUs, with the same 96 ROPs. The GeForce RTX 3070 is based on the GA104 die which is almost 40% smaller than what's used on the 30 (GA102). Moving on from availability woes, the GeForce RTX 30 series is bound to remain an attractive option for gamers for months and even years to come. Hopefully your chances of buying a new RTX 3070 in two days' time when they hit shelves are much higher. The card's launch was pushed to October 29, allowing Nvidia to build up a larger stockpile for release day. This situation has put more pressure on the more affordable GeForce RTX 3070. Whether this is deliberate action (unlikely), demand miscalculation, or manufacturing issues – as so often happens in the industry – time is running out for Nvidia to hit the holiday season. Unfortunately, very few of you have been able to buy them six weeks after the release of the RTX 3080, and availability is expected to be low for some time to come. The arrival of next-gen Ampere graphics in the form of the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 had us testing and showing you benchmarks of these incredibly fast new GPUs. ![]()
